and purchase lots in the Auction consigned by the consignor or by other
consignors pursuant to their consignment agreement. The Auctioneer reserves
the right to include in any auction sale its own material. Bidder

Buyer`s Premium, or other charges that other Bidders may be required to pay

services and among numismatists, even though grading has a material effect
on the value of the coins. Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. is not responsible
for the grades assigned by independent grading services, and makes no
warranty or representation regarding such grades. Bidder further
acknowledges and agrees that grades assigned by Stephen Album Rare Coins

(3) The Bidding Process
The Auctioneer shall have the right to open or accept the bidding on any lot
by placing a bid on behalf of the Consignor or their agent, a Bidder by
mail, telephone, internet or fax, or any other participant in the Auction.
Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. No
lot will be broken up unless otherwise permitted by the Auctioneer. Lots
will be sold in their numbered sequence unless Auctioneer directs otherwise.
All material shall be sold in separate lots to the highest Bidder as
determined by the Auctioneer. Auctioneer shall have the right in his or her
sole and absolute discretion to accept or decline any bid, challenge any bid
or bidding increment, to reduce any mail bid received, adjudicate all
bidding disputes and to determine the prevailing bid. The Auctioneer shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind the acceptance of any bid
and place the lot(s) for Auction again. Auctioneer`s decision on all bidding
disputes shall be binding and final. For the mail and internet Bidder's
protection, no "unlimited" or "buy" bids will be accepted. When identical
bids are received for a lot, preference is given to the first bid received
as determined by the Auctioneer. A mail bid will take precedence over an
identical floor bid; a Floor Bidder and Telephone Bidder must bid higher
than the highest mail bid to be awarded any lot. Bids will not be accepted
from persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent's written
consent which acknowledges the Terms of Sale herein and agrees to be bound
thereby on behalf of the underage Bidder. The auction sale is complete when
the Auctioneer so announces it. Bids may be placed by fax, mail, email, or
by telephone. Telephone bidding is restricted to lots valued at or above
$500 due do shortage of operators available. Online bidding is also
available on www.iCollector.com. Follow the link on our website,
www.stevealbum.com in order to bid online. Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. is
not responsible for any errors in bidding. All Bidders should make certain
to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the bid intended. Once the
hammer has fallen and the Auctioneer has announced the Buyer, the Buyer is
unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Buyer made a mistake.
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any
time, even after the hammer has fallen, until the Buyer has taken physical
possession of the lot. No participant in the Auction shall have a right to
claim any damages, including consequential damages if a lot is withdrawn,
even if the withdrawal occurs after the Auction.

A Buyer`s Premium of eighteen percent (18%) will be added to the hammer
price for each lot to all successful bids. Accepted payments are by Visa,
MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, cash, cashier's check, money order,
approved personal check or bank wire transfer. If the purchaser pays by
"cash equivalent" then the buyer`s premium will be discounted to fifteen
percent (15%). "Cash equivalent" is defined as paying by cash, cashier's
check, money order, approved personal check or bank wire transfer. A
reacquisition charge may apply to Consignors pursuant to a separate
